> To produce as much electricity with solar as Hinkley Point C would use a plot of land almost fifty times bigger than Hyde Park.

Hyde Park is about 1.4 km2, so that would be 70 km2, which even in a dense country like the UK is not that much. It seems like a no-brainer to go for solar instead.
Thanks for the feedback! Having a skip, but not reject sounds useful.

Current OpenTofu contributors vs. pledged FTEs
After the recent layoffs at Google that impacted open source maintainers of some prominent projects, I was curious to see what's the state of other projects where the community had to step up involvement after the initial project ceased their Open Source contributions.

I saw a few people made similar comparisons for other forked projects in the past, and as an infra guy myself, I immediately thought about OpenTofu, now that we're more than half a year after the fork from Terraform, they recently had a massive release, and also had some interesting shenanigans with Hashicorp's lawyers accusing them of stealing their precious IP.

I’ve worked on cars and other mechanical things for most of 3 decades. I’ve never needed a sticker telling me what size standard bolts were.

There's a common mental exercise I see where smart people will engage in armchair economics to explain what "must have" happened in some situation, or the way the word must work. It all sounds very convincing, but the problem is that there are dozens of other equally convincing macroeconomic explanations. Somehow the ones people tend to pick happen to excuse every rich person from any accountability and foster a "greed is good" outlook, even though the other equally good explanations (left unsaid) would imply the opposite.

You shrug off the FTC's evidence here, and put the word "conspiracy" in scare quotes to discredit it. But the FTC claims "Sheffield sought to align oil production across the Permian Basin in West Texas and New Mexico with OPEC+." and "Sheffield, for example, exchanged hundreds of text messages with OPEC representatives and officials discussing crude oil market dynamics, pricing and output." It feels to me like you're disregarding any actual facts and evidence in this case for your favorite macroeconomic explanation instead.

Na batteries are going to be a huge deal. Assuming everything pans out with manufacturing, this will be a game changer for grid storage. Natural gas likely won't be cheaper than doing a battery plant which will be a big deal for peaker plants.
There is technology that goes into ensuring an app runs on a device — the dynamic linked libraries being present, the compilers adapted to the specific instruction set shipped on that device’s chip, the algorithms, ci/cd pipelines, that go into ensuring all that language design, debugger tools, profiling and performance tools, and then the online infrastructure to support things like backups, iCloud, cross-device sync, device to device transfers on upgrades/new phone purchases. Yeesh the details!

“Afford to provide basic development tools” is a conniving way to put it. Forcing a company via legislation to fund, and develop tools is more like what’s happening.

What’s happening here is a couple of greedy app developers want to skimp out on paying for the nitty gritty details of making a customer experience actually work.

So, yeah, pardon me for inaccurately categorizing them all as “server costs” — I definitely misused that word — but there’s no way in hell you can expect all of the other tech to come for free or even at a price that the _developers demand the tool maker to set_

All this litigation, back-and-forth is going to tarnish the user experience.

Interesting. Does this forced arbitration also apply to EU?
No, it's not compatible with receiving official over-the-air updates. Similarly to if you build and signed the OS properly, you'll need to make each of the updates yourself. Unlike building and signing the OS properly, you will not have the basic security model intact but rather will be massively rolling back security and trusting a huge portion of the OS with root access. Giving root to a massive portion of the OS destroys the fine grained access control and isolation model used throughout the OS. It makes exploitation much easier to do and much easier to hide. It also makes persistence a given since persistent root access can be given out which means an attacker doesn't need any verified boot bypass anymore. It's odd to go through all this effort to continue signing the OS for verified boot while losing the main verified boot security model which makes it useful.

If you want root access, build and sign userdebug builds with ro.adb.secure=1, which is officially supported by GrapheneOS and only exposes root access via ADB which you should only use from the computer where you're building the OS.

It would be possible to add some kind of key combination at boot to disable loading user installed applications, etc. and instead making a terminal with root access available. Not clear how that's really useful though. Instead, what these projects are doing is giving out root access to a massive portion of the OS in order to be able to give out full root access to apps. This is used as a shortcut to implement features in a way that massively reduces security even if you never use it. Implementing those features properly integrated into the OS following the principle of least privilege is the proper approach. Most of the features people believe they need this hack to achieve are doable without it, such as filtering traffic with your own firewall rules while also using a VPN which is a standard Android feature available to apps.

From one of John Siracusa Mac OS X Reviews @ Ars Technica[0]:

"Sudden Termination, a feature that was introduced in Snow Leopard, allows applications to indicate to the system that it's safe to kill them "impolitely" (i.e., by sending them SIGKILL, causing them to terminate immediately, with no chance for potentially time-consuming clean-up operations to execute). Applications are expected to set this bit when they're sure they're not in the middle of doing something, have no open files, no unflushed buffers, and so on.

This feature enables Snow Leopard to log out, shut down, and restart more quickly than earlier versions of Mac OS X. When it can, the OS simply kills processes instead of politely asking them to exit. (When Snow Leopard was released, Apple made sure its own applications and daemon processes supported Sudden Termination, even if third-party applications didn't.)

Lion includes a new feature called Automatic Termination. Whereas Sudden Termination lets an application tell the system when it's okay to terminate it with extreme prejudice, Automatic Termination lets an application tell the system that it's okay to politely ask the program to exit.

But wait, isn't it always okay for the OS to politely ask an application to exit? Isn't that what's always happened in Mac OS X on logout, shutdown, or restart? Yes, but what makes Automatic Termination different is when and why this might happen. In Lion, the OS may terminate applications that are not in use in order to reclaim resources—primarily memory, but also things like file descriptors, CPU cycles, and processes.
Advertisement

You read that right. Lion will quit your running applications behind your back if it decides it needs the resources, and if you don't appear to be using them. The heuristic for determining whether an application is "in use" is very conservative: it must not be the active application, it must have no visible, non-minimized windows—and, of course, it must explicitly support Automatic Termination.

Automatic Termination works hand-in-hand with autosave. Any application that supports Automatic Termination should also support autosave and document restore. Since only applications with no visible windows are eligible for Automatic Termination, and since by default the Dock does not indicate whether or not an application is running, the user might not even notice when an application is automatically terminated by the system. No dialog boxes will ask about unsaved changes, and when the user clicks on the application in the Dock to reactivate it, it should relaunch and appear exactly as it did before it was terminated."

> The only unilateral solution seems to be a technological one

Or a political one. Developed countries provide them a small financial incentive to build out renewables instead. Some kind of UN fund. It doesn't have to be a large incentive, it just needs to tip the financial decision over at the margin. The economic logic: it's a retroactive carbon tax, of sorts, given the extreme inequality in emissions per-capita since the industrial revolution. It's also a pragmatic solution, because it's cheaper to prevent the emissions than extract it after they've been released.
And that somehow changes the merit of the argument?
I didn't realize the nested CSS support level was already so high (80%).

Nimbus looks super cool! I’d love to try one. Top speed of 50mph suggests it’s not enough car for highway commuting, unfortunately.

I’m more excited about the Aptera. I think it’s significantly bigger and more highway-capable than the Nimbus, while still much more efficient than contemporary EVs. It’ll cost twice as much as the Nimbus as well… quite different vehicles other than the common 2-front, 1-back wheel configuration.
For a tiling wm, I'd not prefer Ubuntu. Ubuntu works best when you just accept the default way of doing things.

I'm inclined to agree with another poster that maybe you should check out Debian. I only have the caveat that, in my past experience (maybe it's different 10-15 years later) the distro annoyed me sometimes with the rigor of its anti-proprietary stance. Software which I expected to be available in the package manager turned out to be unavailable because the license wasn't up to debian standards. I like the gentoo approach that, although only Free Software is available by default, you can still add overrides for specific packages.

I guess if debian doesn't work out, you can always try Ubuntu, Arch Linux, or Void. Distro-hopping exists as a trope for a reason :)
Would be cute, kinda like MySpace, but I think would detract from the experience if there are people in your area, unless it was always the first one to show up, and only ever when you first open the app
I took the Cisco networking electives, being the geek I was. I slept through 90% of it, it was such a terrible experience. Ironically, there was a very popular shop class where effectively the entire student population knew who the shop teacher was and I chose to take the networking because I didn't have any interest in shop.

Now I have a garage full of woodworking equipment (and wood), spend my leisure time watching youtube and building things.. sometimes I wonder if I would have ever made it to software professionally had I taken that shop class. Might have ended up making cabinets :D
There are a wide variety of cars to suit various needs. There's a large place for a lightweight 30mi EV. Especially for people who don't want to pay the huge premium for a 7x times more expensive battery.
My memory there is a bit fuzzy, but saying there was no official Mozilla web browser feels misleading. The Mozilla Suite (which I used for a while even in the 'milestone' versions) contained a fully functional web browser, Navigator - it was just really heavy and cumbersome because it also had the mail client Communicator and the other stuff like the IRC client and it was very new, very raw, rough-edges software built on this new XPCOM stuff. Very 'kitchen sink', inspired by the Netscape 'SeaMonkey' suite (SeaMonkey I believe lives on under that name). It wasn't based on the OG Netscape source code very much at all - while an attempt was made to develop that, it was so bad it was basically thrown in the bin and rewritten from scratch - which is where Gecko comes from.

K-Meleon and so forth was an attempt to take the core Gecko components out of the Mozilla Suite and just have a small simple browser built in it. Having seen that and a few others which had the same kind of idea but were native, Phoenix, which became Firebird, which became Firefox, was... kind of a grassroots disruptive community effort to try the same sort of minimum-viable-product browser thing in XPCOM as a cross-platform experiment, which rapidly gained adoption when people started realising how much faster and better it was to build it that way from the ground up instead. It certainly didn't feel like it was "AOL Time Warner" sponsored. If anything, it felt kind of chaotic. Nobody did a detailed name search because it was an experimental side project.

That worked so well, Thunderbird the email client was forked off too (during the Firebird era), and if I recall Sunbird (the calendar part)?

If hiring activities are in your job description, then they’re part your duties. Otherwise they’re someone else foisting their responsibility onto you. This sort of doing is not uncommon.

I will note that salaried positions often are arbitrary on the time commitment.

> I wouldn't be excited to have either Australia ... or Chile ... as my sources

China is even less excited than you are to have Australia and Chile as their sources. Eliminating a small pain from the USA and a big pain from China gives a net benefit to China, so it's weird to see it advertised as a net benefit for the USA.

That said, raw material availability isn't the limiting factor here. We probably shouldn't even be discussing it.

That's the alternative Na-ion has to beat. We could build lithium refining and manufacturing capacity in the US sphere of influence. Evaluations of any new technology should compare it to the best available alternatives, yes?
Asking who benefits does not require us to assume perfect selfish behavior from all investors, nor does it require us to assume that people who benefit from this behavior to want it to continue.

I don't think it requires the mental model you're alleging at all. I'm fully in favor of taxing carbon at a rate which reflects its actual externalized costs, as well as other emissions. I've argued that DAs should charge oil companies with manslaughter when people die in heat waves. I don't drive a car, I don't eat animals, and I plant native wildflowers. Being opposed to the destruction of the planet does not mean I should not ask "who actually benefits from economic trends that everyone complains about?"

Piketty argued that the share of growth that goes to capital vs labor will determine a great deal about how inequality changes over time, and insofar as artificial price increases are just increased revenues to asset holders, this behavior has importance not just today but in shaping the future.

> Most stocks are not held by individuals

Isn't that a distraction? Even when stocks are held by, e.g. an insurer, another company, ultimately ownership of most wealth tracks back to some collection of natural persons. Even in cases where 'ownership' doesn't track back to people, there are still beneficiaries, e.g. people who have pensions don't directly own the assets that the pension fund holds.
It’s funny, nesting is such an obvious thing to have in CSS yet the designers intentionally left it out.
It seems that YC is funding a lot of these companies despite all that. I've been wondering why, because I agree with you about the current capabilities of AI. Is it

* they expect AI to drastically improve, making these GPT-based products much more useful? e.g. almost fully automating a sector of white collar labor

* over time, they expect these companies to build more sophisticated non-AI or in-house AI products in the same problem space?

* they are hoping for positive EV due to unforseen events even if they expect most of these companies to fail?

* something else?

Here's an example of an non-"changing" orbit goes over different parts of the planet over time: https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/why-do-satellites-orbi...

It's highly unlikely that a satellite-based telescope would rotate/turn the lens. Turn it relative to what? It's in 0g, there's no part that's held in place by friction to the ground. Any rotating joint would make the two sides move in opposite directions. And if you think about that, let one side be much smaller, and allow rotating by multiple turns instead of just 0-360 or such, you might just invent the gyroscope.

They turn the whole satellite with gyroscopes (flywheels) and/or propellant.
